These guys are hounding me for a 12 yr old Discover charge-off. They called me this weekend, and Tues. morning Equifax notified me that they did a hp on my CR. They are rude, and the CSR I talked to was barely relaying the information. I'm sending them a DV, and they are a bottomfeeder from what I've read here but I'm not sure what to do about the hp?? I'm new to all this. Can anybody out there advise US?
Yeah I just got a Hard Pull from them on Equifax, so weird, the debt i'm 100% sure is probably pass SOL, when I send the DV letter should I send it Certified?
Always send the DV certified.
With an account that old, there a couple of ways of dealing with it.
1. Settle the debt, maybe 20% or so just to get rid of it.
2. Send them a cease and desist letter.

Ok I will send a DV letter certified then C & D. I assume they won't return my DV letter.
Is there anyway I can dispute with Equifax to get that hard inquiry removed? I think they are doing it because they aren't allowed to report it as a collection to the CRA am I correct?
Hey, tonyj! I disputed with Equifax and it came back lickety split. Verified. O.o REALLY, Equifax? Did you even blink?
My question is can they CONTINUOUSLY ping my CR for the next umpteen years even after sending a cease and desist?
Yes. A cease and desist just means they cannot contact you personally. It does not take away their PP for pulling your CR.
Depending on your state laws, they may or may not be able to pull your CR after SOL has expired.
What is continuously?

Are they allowed to report the TL as a collection account still? even if it's passed the SOL in California?
That depends. State SOL has nothing to do with reporting.
If the CRTP (7.5 years past DoFD) is expired, no they cannot. If it hasn't, yes they can.
